"Night" (La Nuit) by Guy de Maupassant
Published 1887.
The picture used is "Café Terrace at Night" by Vincent van Gogh.
There's a fantastic black and white photo of the steps of Montmartre, by David Clapp, but I don't know what the copyright status of it is. I believe David Clapp is still alive and active, so probably fully copyrighted, but I just don't know. I would have used it if I could have figured that out, but since I can't, you'll have to look it up for yourself.

The editor of the collection I'm reading from has been taking some liberties with the titles of the stories, which up to this point hasn't been a big deal, the liberties taken so far are well within artistic license for a translator. However, this specific story, for some reason, he entitled "A Queer Night in Paris". Now what the narrator describes in the story may well be a very queer night in the city of Paris, but the problem here is that Guy wrote a completely different story with that exact title. And we can see the French title for this story, "La Nuit", is clearly just "Night", so why use the title of a different story for this one? How bizarre. Definitely outside the scope of artistic license, that's just bad editing. C'est la vie. At least I caught it and corrected it here for my own recording purposes.
